ZERO TOLERANCE TOWARDS ABUSE POLICY
At Blue Education, we are committed to providing a safe and respectful environment for all our employees. We believe in fostering a workplace culture that promotes professionalism, mutual respect, and dignity. As part of this commitment, we have implemented a Zero Tolerance Towards Abusive Behaviour Policy, which applies to all customers and clients interacting with our employees or accessing our services. Abusive behavior includes, but is not limited to, verbal, physical, or emotional harassment, threats, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful conduct.
-

By implementing this Zero Tolerance Towards Abusive Behaviour Policy, we strive to create a workplace environment that fosters respect, professionalism, and inclusivity. We believe that every individual deserves to be treated with dignity and will not tolerate any form of abusive behavior towards our employees.
